Nintendo Power Unplugged, Iconic Game Magazine Releases Last Issue

Well, gamers, it’s the end of an era. Nintendo Power has just released its final issue. As of December 2012, the iconic video game magazine is no more.

Nintendo Power has been in print since the summer of 1988, the Nintendo Entertainment System’s heyday. That year we got Blaster Master, Bionic Commando and my personal favorite, Blades of Steel. In the years that followed, Nintendo Power closely followed Nintendo’s highs and lows, from the superb Super Nintendo to the nearly forgotten Virtual Boy.
